In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have successfully transformed light into a supersolid, an unusual state of matter ...

Physicists have taken a step that sounds like science fiction: they have coaxed light into behaving as a “supersolid,” a phase of matter that is at once rigid and frictionless. Instead of treating ...
